Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'RTE' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm tape and reel packaging specifications. Ensure the component meets RoHS3 requirements for your assembly process. Confirm that the 500 Ohm nominal resistance aligns with your circuit design constraints.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Selection Notes

Select this component when high surge current suppression is required at the input of electronic systems. The 13.50mm diameter provides substantial thermal mass for handling high initial charging currents. Verify that the steady-state operating temperature remains within safe limits for the application environment.

Inrush Current Limiters (ICL) Part Context

This part belongs to the PTCEL series of positive temperature coefficient inrush current limiters. These components are distinct from standard resistors as their resistance increases significantly with temperature, providing dynamic current control during startup transients.
